Interaction - Rocky Mountain High
Interaction RMH is a Christian leadership training program for young international and U.S. military personnel starting their careers. The program focuses on biblical leadership and personal discipleship through activities such as rock climbing, rappelling, backpacking, white water rafting, mountain biking, Bible study, and lots of personal interaction. It is centered on a seven day outdoor adventure experience at the OCF retreat center at Spring Canyon, Colorado, followed by visits to other points of interest in Colorado.
Whenever an Interaction Rocky Mountain High program is scheduled, the program director will request nominations to participate from prior participants, MCF leaders, all the AMCF officers and staff members of ACCTS, MMI, and MSO.
Once candidates have been selected, the program director will notify the AMCF officers and staff members of ACCTS, MMI, and MSO of those who have been selected. ACCTS will then assist with the documentation required for permits and make all necessary travel arrangements. Individual participants and their related national military Christian fellowship will be requested to help with program and travel expenses as they are able. ACCTS will work to raise funds for the remaining balance of the participant’s travel and program expenses, but we cannot guarantee that we can cover all remaining expenses. Personal expenses will be the responsibility of each participant.
Once the program has begun, participants are expected to remain with the group until the entire program has been completed. Personal business and visits with friends and relatives in the US or other countries should be scheduled either prior to or following the program.
